naranja··on Gitea 1.10.0 Released
I don't think the comparison to GitLab is reasonable: Gitlab brings a much broader feature set and has a much larger product vision https://about.gitlab.com/direction/maturity/ I'm mostly missing a native CI-support.

I do agree, that most "simply a GitHub-like web frontend for Git"-purposes Gitea sounds like a really awesome deal if simplicity and functionality. Looking at https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/ is really an impressive list.

naranja··on Gitea 1.10.0 Released
I understand that Gitea focus on light-weight, painless instance: Just run a binary and you're done. That far I understand why I would choose Gitea over GitLab.

But what are the USPs between Gitea and https://gogs.io/ ? Both Go-based. Both using the same claims. Actually from the very first impression Gitea looks more polished than Gogs.

Update: Okay - I learned that Gogs a) has only one maintainer and b) can not make pull requests between branches of forked repositories. Also https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/ provides a first overview.

naranja··on Richard Stallman Has Been Vilified by Those Who Don’t Know Him
I think this is an undervalued and very important aspect in the whole discussion.

In the meantime a completely mentally disabled person is leading the country and attacking every imaginable person in the world for years and… nothing happens at all!

Weird times.

If you have cancer, you need to mitigate these issues. Cancer is no excuse for dying…

Yes – autism is a perfect explanation for behavior not following typical social norms. That's more or less exactly the core of this disability.

From my point of view RMS really tackles his disability as far as he can: Announces his preferences, choosing interaction forms appropriate to him (email), openly telling that he'll refrain from group discussion…

Besides that I still don't see, where RMS really crossed the lines which requires actions to actually destroy his life. In the same time someone like Trump permanently crosses really vital red lines in all aspects… every… fucking… day…

naranja··on AndOTP: Open-source two-factor authentication for Android
I still prefer the much simpler FreeOTP+. Just start, tap and go. Can be easily backed up and restored: either via Import/Export or plain Titanium Backup.
naranja··on Save the nuclear power plants that generate 50% of America’s clean electricity
No – nuclear is not "clean" energy. It's one of the messiest form of them. And coal is "clean" neither.
naranja··on Save the nuclear power plants that generate 50% of America’s clean electricity
American people seem to underestimate the damage and risk of anything they are doing. Producing tons of highly-toxic, highly radioactive elements with a lifetime of several the factor humans are living on earth and not the singles clue how to contain them safely even for a decade!

Sure – why save energy, why invest in renewable, energy. Because we have it and we can do it.

This arrogoance towards the subsequent and already generations of today makes me unbelievable angry.

naranja··on How SAP Has Quietly Changed Strategy on HANA and Oracle
Not being the author. Just found the article very interesting with a provoking point-of-view on the subject SAP HANA and it's future.
naranja··on Wine 2.0 released
Just renewed my commercial license. CodeWeaver forms 2/3 of the Wine committers and contributes all their work first back into the Wine projects.

So worth every penny for the good cause.

naranja··on When Solid State Drives Are Not That Solid
I fully second that: I'm using btrfs for / and ZFS for /srv. So many rashed filesystems beyond recovery on btrfs, so many joy, stability and easy tools for ZFS.

I'm really about to consider to migrate / to ZFS now.

naranja··on SwiftOnSecurity: A story about Jessica
I fully agree. This is a really good story giving us a honest insight into the perspective of a typical user these days. Things should just work. Similar as you also expect from you car. It needs _some_ attention, but the guy at the dealer will care for you for the nifty details.

I feel, that the "PC" world has utterly failed to care for it's user and that the mobile world does here a somehow better job though it comes with many (proprietary) restrictions.

But then the NSA came and these days trusting in other seems no longer to be a good advice at all.

naranja··on Gooey: Turn command line programs into GUI applications
The fish shell does this with an explicit command (fish_update_completions) and offers an awesome Tab completion in the current Github version
naranja··on SkrivML: A lightweight markup language
Oh no! Please not _another_ lightweight markup language.

This increased diversity will only push Markdown's dominance and not help to get better alternatives _at all!_

naranja··on fish shell
I fully agree: The sensible and intuitive defaults (ie. arrow up/down for history; tab/rightarrow for autocompletion) and simply so much which just works out of the box (beautiful styled completion list with program descriptions in it, colors, sensible help) made me instantly fall in love with fish.

Be sure to try Fish 2.0 which is even much more awesome than the older version.

naranja··on fish shell
For people looking for a more generic start https://github.com/bpinto/oh-my-fish might be a good hint, too
naranja··on fish shell
Why is zsh interesting, when you can have a friendly shell out of the box

https://github.com/bpinto/oh-my-fish

I tried to get started with both. For me fish was by far the easier & more friendly starter. For shell powerusers zsh might be offer more options and less pitfalls.

What a crappy "article". enneff comment already points it out.
naranja··on Ask HN: Which computer/laptop do you use?
Dell Latitute E6430, i5-3340M, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Docking with Linux Mint 14. Cheap & Blazingly fast. Love it!
naranja··on Github is Down
100% FullAck : Who cares! Git is a DISTRIBUTED VCS exactly for this reason, so there is absolutely _no point at all_ to bother HN unless its a full outage lasting longer than 1 day.
naranja··on Google 'kerning' easter egg
Help me - don't get it.... whats so special about this google query?
naranja··on Linus as one of the top 14% most vulgar users on GitHub
Indeed - an pure sci-fi, too
naranja··on Linus as one of the top 14% most vulgar users on GitHub
Me too.I'm absolutely excited by the service itself and really puzzled how people stick on the some irrelevant and well-known details.

Guys - anyone TRIED at least other user handles? Its fun!

naranja··on Fish 2.0 shell beta
I once tried fish 1 year ago by "accidient". Got instantly addicted. Why do other shells have to be so akward? It totaly clear to me, that bash & co frightens people from using CLI.

Instantly switched to fish. Never looked back.
